CuraEngine in Repetier Host

Is there any difference in using the CuraEngine slicer that's already one of the slicers in Repetier Host rather than the standalone Cura software? Can you actually set up the standalone Cura to work with a Rostock Max V2 or is it only used to make the G code?

Yes. But I slice it again every time. And I have printed it successfully before with the same part file.

Print shifting consistently

For every print lately I have had consistent shifts about an hour in. I have tried many different options but still have shifts. I tried tightening the belts and making sure the carriages were correctly tightened. After that didnt work, I thought the Rambo board was too hot and I have a desk fan ...

Extruder motor too loud

After having installed motor dampeners for all three axis, I now know that the extruder motor is causing the loudest noises in my printer. And If it torque the motor to the side little the noise level drops considerably since the motor is making as much contact to the wood. Has anyone thought of a ...

Re: How to get better air flow to RAMBo

Heatsinks can only be as cool as the air around them, so I designed some vented side panels to promote air exchange. http://repables.com/r/495/ [img]http://repables.com/images/gallery/9f396fe44e7c05c16873b05ec425cbad_39c337374b48bd4e1de923b824146b95.jpg[/img] I've also been working on some ducts to ...

Re: How to get better air flow to RAMBo

Where would be a good place to connect extra fans to? If I connect them to the same place the existing fan for the back of the Rambo board would it just give less power to each fan thats connected there?

How to get better air flow to RAMBo

Ive recently getting consistent print shifting for longer prints. I tightened the belts and adjusted the carriages and still have the shifts. I think the culprit now is that the RAMBo board is getting too hot so it shuts down a little to save itself. And after touching the board and noticing that it ...

Better way to tighten belts?

I think I need to tighten the belts on my machine and was wondering if there is a better method that people have come up with rather than the one in the manual. Its hard and awkward to do by myself and most times I feel as if I didnt even tighten it more. Also what should the belt feel like when it ...

Re: Cant get bed level

I ended up using the method in the assembly guide where I guess and check with the screws on the carriage. I check the specific number of the radius right now but I know it was around 130.

Help with prints

My Rostock Max has recently not be printing very well lately. The sides are not smooth and I dont know how to fix it. Here's a picture. http://i.imgur.com/5HEItQ7.jpg I don't think this is due to belt tension because I recently tightened them. Any ideas? Thanks
